I'm new to Quantshare, checking it out for building and testing trading systems. Specifically, I hoped to use the delisted US Stocks downloader to build a survivorship bias-free database.
I added the delisted symbols and the downloader, but there's no data after the downloads complete. I plug the download URL into my browser and the file I get has the column headers, but no data. If I change the symbol to an active stock, I get a valid file with historical data.
Also, none of the 'inactive' stocks are found when you plug them into markets.chron.com. I believe what once was a free source of data for delisted stocks no longer has those delisted stocks.
Can anyone verify this? Is there another source of delisted data, and possibly another downloader out there?
Thanks,
Scott
